Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993 (31 years old), the property is dated and largely original. While it has been 'refreshed' with new carpet and paint, the kitchen and bathroom appear to be from the original construction period. It is functional and move-in ready but requires modernization of the kitchen, baths, and likely aging systems to meet current standards.
As a penthouse unit positioned steps from the sand, the property offers unobstructed, panoramic views of the Monterey Bay, beach, and city lights, providing a premium coastal living experience.
The luxury complex features an extensive suite of amenities, including two heated pools, saunas, spas, a fitness center, and club rooms, offering a high-end lifestyle beyond the unit itself.
This condo represents a unique investment or residence opportunity, having remained off the market for over 30 years in a highly desirable, walkable Monterey location.
The monthly association fee of $1,032 is significantly high for a one-bedroom unit, which may impact the overall affordability and long-term investment yield for some buyers.
At just 718 square feet, the living space is relatively compact for the million-dollar price point, potentially limiting the property's appeal to individuals or couples rather than larger households.
